Fedora and CentOS, here at home. :)

Which Firefox and which Flash-version are you talking about, John?

Downloading it as we speak. Thanks for the reminder. ;)

Try starting Frostwire from the konsole. What kind of errors do you get? Or even better post them here.

Indeed, thank you all. Great book.

Thanks for the tip. This will make it a lot easier for a lot of Dutch folk.

I'm planning on installing Fedora 8 on several systems this weekend. But I've been testing the Test-versions from day 1. Are there already some people who got codec-buddy to work? Just a bit curious. I couldn't seem to get it working in any of the Test-releases.

Chris, I hate to see you go and will miss your contibrutions and craftmanship. I hope you'll find happiness. Bye Chris.

Why not installing it with urpmi? Urpmi is the package-manager used by Mandriva. A big advantage is, that all of your dependencies get resolved too.

Ok, thanks. But for now I will let it be. But I will certainly try to remove it on a test-setup, but not on this rig. Thanks for the info.

By the way, I compared my Mandriva 2008 with my Fedora 7 setup. That is, only the parts concerning Eclipse. And found out that Mandriva "forgot" to install some additional packages. These packages are: - Eclipse-changelog - Eclipse-pde - Eclipse-pde-runtime After installing those packages, I was able to start Eclipse. :)

Thanks for your reply, Scarecrow. But currently I have Java-1.5.0-gcj installed along with the devel package. But I also have java-1.7.0-icedtea installed along with the devel package and it's Firefox plugin. When running tests on the Sun-site, I get a message of running the latest Java available. As you can clearly see in the log-file. java.version=1.7.0 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86, WS=gtk, NL=en_US

Thanks for your reply, Ian. But I can't find java 1.4.2. in the repo's for Mandriva 2008. I have java-1.5.0-gcj installed, also. That is besides 1.7.0. Would removing version 1.5.0 be a sensible thing to do?

Hi, I installed Mandriva 2008 without a problem on one of my systems here. So far so good. Added the sources to my urpmi-configuration and installed java. To be exact, java-1.7.0icedtea and the plugin. Java works fine unde Firefox, which I checked at the sun site. But it doesn't when I try to start Eclipse. Eclipse gives me the following error: An error has occurred. See the log file /home/guldukat/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.3.0-mdv/configuration/1192401374958.log. This is what the log-file says: !SESSION 2007-10-14 18:36:14.279 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=I20070625-1500 java.version=1.7.0 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.

But I don't know exactly what. Hope one of you can help me out here. Thanks in advance.

Adamw, I don't think there' s a lot of difference between the command cat /proc/cpuinfo and the directory you gave me. As you can see here: linux-ftxr:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq # cat cpuinfo_cur_freq 800000 linux-ftxr:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq # cat cpuinfo_min_freq 800000 linux-ftxr:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq # cat cpuinfo_max_freq 2000000 linux-ftxr:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq # cat scaling_governor ondemand

Ahh, oke. That makes things a little clearer for me. But when I ran the command cat /proc/cpuinfo my laptop wasn't running on the battery, but was plugged in to the power.

Nothing. But I thought it would run at 800Mhz continuously. That's why I started this topic. Don't get me wrong. But the cpu runs at 800Mhz idle, but when it's under stress it should go up. Right? I hope I get it straight now. sorry and thank you for your time. :)

Yes it is, but I don't see the FSB listed. And you mean that as my cpu is idle it runs at 1,6 Ghz, and under stress it would probably run 2,0 Ghz. Right? Mmm, oke. So my "panic" was about nothing. Would gkrellm give me a better reflection of my cpu or/and are there better programs to keep this monitored?

I'm sorry Scarecrow. I don't fully comprehend what you mean by this.

I'vre tried it on other computers, non-laptops. And there the cpu-frequency does match the frequency there supposed to run.

I have a Acer Ferrari 4005 WLMI laptop, which has a AMD Mobile Turion 64 ML37 onboard. This cpu is suppose to run @ 2.0 Ghz. But recently I found out that it doesn't run at 2.0 Ghz. As you can see with the following command: [guest@localhost ~]$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 36 model name : AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 800.000 cache size : 1024 KB fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt lm 3dnowext 3dnow up pni lahf_lm bogomips : 1593.47 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc I've tried all kinds of different Live-CD's, both x86 and x86_64, but all of them let my cpu run at 800 Mhz. How on earth can I let run at 2.0 Ghz? Thanks in advance.

Works great, Justin. Thanks.

I've been using it now on Fedora 8, Test-2, and it feels good. Hope the final release of Fedora 8 will too.

Thanks for the explanation, scarecrow. :)

Hi, I've just recently reinstalled my laptop, which has ATi Radeon X700 graphical card, decided not to use the closed-source driver from ATi itself, but instead use the opensource driver ati. But I also came across a opensource driver called radeon. I can't seem to find any reference to what the difference is between those 2 drivers, ati and radeon. I was hoping someone here could help me out. I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks in advance.
